She saved the girl. Freed her father. Now she has nothing left and the real fight is just beginning.
Dee is still on the run. Her name is fake, her journalist credentials are borrowed, and the FBI are hunting her father for crimes he committed out of love. She didn't plan any of this. She just couldn't walk away.
When she and Dad break into a stranger's house in the dead of night, they find more than evidence. Behind a bolted basement door is Amy, a teenager held captive by a sexual predator since she was nine years old. They take her. They shouldn't. They do it anyway.
Amy is fierce and clear-eyed. She refuses to let what happened to her destroy the lives of her twin sisters, now rising stars whose careers were built, in part, in the shadow of Amy's disappearance. But Dee has questions. About Amy's family. About who knew. About whether any of this was quite as random as it appeared.
Running alongside Amy's story is the thread that will take four books to unravel: the man Dee has been tracking through Baltimore's art world. Cultivated, untouchable, and entirely separate from Amy's captor. A longer, darker hunt. And Dee is the only one following it.
She's sharp, funny, and operating entirely outside the law. She's also slowly, reluctantly becoming exactly the person this city needs.
For fans of psychological thriller books who want a story that refuses to flinch:
- A mystery thriller novel where justice is personal, messy, and hard-won
- Suspense thriller books energy, impossible to put down, chapter after chapter
- Amy: a survivor whose controlled rage becomes the most powerful force in crime fiction
- A crime thriller built around moral complexity and characters with real weight
- Book 2 of 4 in the Suffer the Little Children series, pick up Book 1 first
Chris Lewando writes psychological thriller books that go where others won't, with dark humour, emotional precision, and a heroine readers won't forget.
Once it drew me in, I couldn't put it down until the end. It left me wanting more.
Amy is free. Dee is not. Read The Price of Children and find out what freedom actually costs.
